D-(+)-Galacturonic acid monohydrate is a naturally occurring sugar acid derived from galactose and is the main monomer of pectin, from which it is obtained by hydrolysis. It is used as a reference standard for uronic acid determination in pectin analysis and as a substrate in studies of pectin-degrading enzymes. It serves as a precursor in biochemical research and is also applied in cosmetics and as a stabilizer in various formulations. This chemical has a CAS number of 91510-62-2, with the molecular formula C6H10O7·H2O and a molecular weight of 212.15 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions, carries a signal word of "Danger," and requires careful handling due to its hazardous properties. Molekula supplies D-(+)-Galacturonic acid monohydrate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
